CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL 0 4 l fii (~ N . . t.', •.~] 3. The Planning Commission reviewed this application on September 21, 1998, and recommended approval on a vote of 6 to 0. 4. The Planning Commission made the following findings of fact: A. . The proposed residence meets all lot and hardcover requirements. B. The lot is located on a peninsula causing the average lakeshore setback distance to be pushed back on the lot. C. The lot faces the south whereas the adjacent lots face to the southwest and east. 4. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. 5. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variances on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
